Coteaux de Coiffy is a PGI title for wines that are produced in the southwestern Part of the Haute-Marne department, in northeastern France, halfway between the wine regions of Burgundy and Alsace. Only a small amount of wine is produced here because of the difficult Terroir, and the PGI does not overlap with any AOC-level appellation. The IGP wines of Coteaux de Coiffy borrow heavily from their Burgundian and Alsatian neighbours in terms of Grape varieties. Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay and Auxerrois are all allowed in the Vineyards, as are Gewurztraminer and Muscat.
The territory of the Haute-Marne is not known for its viticulture. The Dense, fertile soils and cold Climate are not particularly conducive to viticulture. However, the official catchment area of the Coteaux de Coiffy PGI is located in a hilly part of the department where the topography offers mesoclimates more conducive to vine growing. The Coteaux de Coiffy vineyards are located on steep slopes for several reasons.
